My Mom tells me all the time how she can't believe she has three kids that are 40, 35 and 33 years old and how fast we grew up.
I started late having my kids. I'm 40 and have a 4 1/2 year old and our youngest will be two next month. My parents gave me a suprise birthday party a few weeks ago.... I sat there thinking how my Mom is only 58. We aren't that far apart in age..... and then thinking how my kids and I have such a huge age difference. Sometimes that's hard to handle. They are growing up so fast already and I'm not getting any younger. I think about when my youngest graduates from high school I will be a little older than my Mom is now. I hope I act as young as she does.
At my party my mother could pretty much out dance, out hoola hoop, out limbo everyone there.

P.S. I was a horrible teenager. My parents divorced when I was just starting my pre-teens.... through the years my mom and I have become very close. At my party she gave some baby clothes that were found in my grandmothers attic recently. One of the outfits was my coming home from the hospital dress. There were outfits of my brothers as well. She thought they were all lost in a house fire we had years ago. She spent many hours cleaning them to give to me. It was so special to have them and to see her remembering each and every outfit really warmed my heart.. Each year I grow even closer and so thankful for every day with her.
